New Brunswick Bathurst

Similar to the other Atlantic Canada provinces, Bathurst’s heritage is strongly French, British and Scottish.

On its eastern side, the Nepisiguit River flows gently into beautiful Chaleur Bay, making the area a haven for watersports and fishing.Stroll through Bathurst’s relaxed downtown core then continue along waterfront boardwalks enjoying spectacular views over the Bay.

Salt marsh, wooded trails and home to more than 100 different bird species, Daly Point Reserve attracts bird-watchers by the hundreds. Come armed with binoculars for close-up viewing and a camera to capture that perfect shot. It is truly a nature lover's dream.

Enjoyed some beautiful walking trails at Daly Point Nature Reserve. The bugs are a little annoying though so remember the repellent. Definitely recommend.

Pabineau Falls was a great place to visit in an RV. Plenty of parking and spectacular rapids. Good place to enjoy a picnic lunch.
